About this study

Official title: Comparison of Modified Broström Repair + Suture Tape and Anatomic Reconstruction for CLAI in Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability in Generalized Joint Laxity Cases: A Prospective Cohort Study

GJL is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an MBR for CLAI. BPR with suture tape augmentation and anatomic reconstruction may provide more strength and stability. However, BPR with suture tape augmentation may lead to rejection of the suture tape, while anatomic reconstruction may be associated with more trauma. In addition, the outcomes between the BPR with suture tape augmentation and anatomic reconstruction were unknown.

Read the detailed description

Generalized joint laxity (GJL) is a risk factor for postoperative recurrent instability following an open modified Broström repair (MBR) for chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). MBR with suture tape augmentation and anatomic reconstruction may provide more strength and stability. However, BPR with suture tape augmentation may lead to rejection of the suture tape, while anatomic reconstruction may be associated with more trauma. In addition, the outcomes between the BPR with suture tape augmentation and anatomic reconstruction were unknown.

Being tested
Modified Broström + Suture tape augmentation operation, Anatomic reconstruction operation, Open Modified Broström procedure

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Karlsson-Peterson score

    This score is a primary scale for lateral ankle instability, with a maximum value of 100 and minimum value of 0. Larger Karlsson-Peterson score represents better ankle functional outcomes.

    Measured: postoperative Karlsson score at 1 year

  2. Karlsson-Peterson score

    This score is a primary scale for lateral ankle instability, with a maximum value of 100 and minimum value of 0. Larger Karlsson-Peterson score represents better ankle functional outcomes.

    Measured: postoperative Karlsson score at 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anterior displacement and talar tilt angle in stress radiography

    The outcomes are common indicators for evaluation the lateral stability of ankle

    Measured: postoperative radiographic measures at 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ankle Sprains and Hypermobility Syndrome, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dong Jiang, MD (13811280948, bysyjiangdong@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Karlsson-Peterson score (time frame: postoperative Karlsson score at 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05698446, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Apr 2025.
